The Require Function

The require function in JavaScript is used in the server-side programming environment, specifically in Node.js. It's used to include a module (i.e., a file containing code) in the current file and make its functions and variables available for use. The require function returns the exports (i.e., public interface) of the included module.

Syntax:

const module = require('module');

Example:

Suppose we have a module named math.js with the following code:

exports.add = function(a, b) {
  return a + b;
};

We can include this module in another file and use the add function like this:

const math = require('./math');
console.log(math.add(1, 2));
